From October 20 through November 9, the traveling international exhibition Mobile Art will be displayed in New York City. The exhibit is housed in a gleaming futuristic pavilion designed by Pritzker Prize-winning, London-based architect Zaha Hadid.

Commissioned by CHANEL, Mobile Art presents changing installations of works by foremost contemporary artists from Europe, the United States, Asia, Russia, and Latin America, each of whom has made a unique piece for the project exploring the visual, conceptual, and cultural possibilities in the convergence of fashion and art.

The pavilion will be open to the public free of charge with reserved, timed tickets. Visitors will be able to view the installation during public hours each day, and CHANEL will host additional special evening events in collaboration with leading New York arts institutions and cultural organizations, including the Central Park Conservancy.
